Unshelter America is a community project dedicated to raising funds and resources for shelters in Michigan that specifically help people who have been sexually, physically, and/or emotionally abused. Our goal is to raise $2 million in funds and resources.Raising funding and resources for these shelters creates awareness and opens up the possibility to give people the choice to seek help in what may seem like impossible situations.Sexual abuse and/or domestic violence does not just happen in other communities. Anyone can become victimized by a partner, date, or perpetrator regardless of race, socio-economic status, gender, culture, education, or religious beliefs. It happens right here in Michigan, possibly to you or someone you may know.Shelters help with housing, education programs, counseling, support groups, court advocacy, medical care and the like. All services are free of charge to victims but all services come with a cost to the shelters themselves. Therefore, it is important to raise money so that these centers can continue to help as many women as possible.All people should have the choice to live without fear. Please stand with me and fight to give people a choice and unshelter them from seemingly impossible situations.
